BREAKING: US officials have concluded that Ukraine did not launch a drone strike on Putin’s residence. In other words, it is now apparent that the Russian dictator personally lied to Trump in a bid to derail peace efforts. Will there be consequences?

"The drone strike likely never happened. Peskov said Russia could provide no evidence, and urged the press to take the Kremlin’s word for it. No, we won’t. Putin’s entire war is a lie. Just as he did in Alaska, Putin was offered peace and instead spat in America's eye."

Trump just posted an article rubbishing Russia’s claims of a Ukrainian attack on Putin’s residence and accusing the Kremlin dictator of trying to derail peace efforts. You don’t need a doctorate in tweetology to know that this is meant to signal the US leader’s displeasure

Brilliant in-depth report by the New York Times on Trump’s chaotic Ukraine policy: “Late at night and on weekends, the Ukrainians would get messages from their old Pentagon contacts: “We’re here, but we can’t do anything. We’re sorry.”

Russia claims Ukraine attacked Putin’s residence with 91 drones, but locals say they did not see or hear anything. They did not even receive standard air raid alerts on their phones. In other words, the Kremlin didn’t bother to stage a false flag and simply lied to Trump instead

Christmas came early to the Russia scholars with Santa declassifying the Bush-Putin meeting transcripts. That's 2001. Ukraine is Russian land, simply given away for no reason, as if USSR had not collapsed and there was no Ukraine independence referendum. And, long before the 2008 Bucharest Summit

It's been there all the time with Putin. Revanchism is, apart from theft, one of Putin's big motivators. We could have stopped it, or prepared for it, already then. But no, 20 years of forced forgetfulness of history followed with maybe the worst generation of leaders ever.

⚡️ Today was a great day in history: On December 26, 1991, the Soviet flag was taken down at the Kremlin for the last time. 📍The bad news? The Russian tricolor then went up the pole to take its place. 👉Flags changed. The underlying imperialism did not. Now it must be crushed.
